There is something special
about listening to a Slayer album - some kind of atmosphere that no other band
on this planet has been able to re-create ever since they started out in the
early 80's. It was evident even when they released their debut album "Show
No Mercy" in 1983 that they would become one of the biggest and most
important metal bands in history and they have not disappointed anyone. Even
though I still prefer their first albums I think this is a great album. With
"Diabolus In Musica" they wanted to try something new and they did not fail.
The band does not want to play the fast and furious riffs from their early
days. Instead they have become heavier and darker. In fact I think this is the
blackest and most sinister sounding Slayer album so far. The riffs are mighty
and ominous and Araya's vocals have never been scarier and more powerful than
they are here. Without his charismatic and raging vocals there would have been
something missing on this album but on the other hand it would have sounded
rather boring hearing him screaming without the massive guitar power and
diabolic drumming backing up his voice. Every member of Slayer makes his
contribution to the music and when they are at their best they beat most of
the competition on the metal scene today even though it has been close to
twenty years since they started their career. Yet another wonderful album from
one of a few who are still going strong.
